Definitions

  • This invention relates to exhaust processors usable to filter particulate matter from a contaminated fluid. More particularly, this invention relates to an "in-line" exhaust processor assembly including a processor housing and a pair of substrates mounted in series within the housing for solid particle filtration.
  • Conventional exhaust processors include a housing in communication with an exhaust manifold of an engine and a single monolithic substrate disposed therein to filter out noxious pollutants from the engine exhaust gases.
  • a single substrate cannot provide a sufficient amount of filtering capacity.
  • two substrates are mounted within a housing in a "side-by-side” or “spaced-apart parallel” relation.
  • parallel processor such a conventional processor will be referred to as a "parallel processor.”
  • One type includes a single inlet pipe that is coupled to two filters mounted in parallel by means of a "Y-design" three-way joint.
  • a separate sheet metal housing having its own inlet and outlet ports is provided to house each of said filters.
  • Another type includes a web-shaped common inlet cone that is coupled directly to two filters mounted in parallel. Each filter is provided with its own sheet metal housing. However, the web-shaped inlet cone is of sufficient size to contemporaneously engage the inlet ends of each of the parallel filters.
  • Another type of conventional in-line processor is provided with two shorter filters mounted in series within a single passageway in which all of the contaminated exhaust gas introduced into the housing is required to pass. It will be understood that one or both of these substrates can be prematurely clogged with particulate matter unless the "filter efficiency" of each of these in-line substrate filters is carefully “matched". Design and maintenance of this second type of conventional in-line processor is undesirably complicated by the need to install a less efficient filter in the forward or upstream position within the housing and a filter characterized by a higher efficiency in the rearward or downstream position within the housing. Selection of properly "matched" filters is an expensive and time consuming procedure.
  • in-line processor comprises a first annular substrate extending across the inlet of the processor housing and having a central unobstructed passage through which a portion of the exhaust gases pass direct from the inlet to a second substrate which is of less diameter than the housing to provide an annular passage for the gases which have been filtered by the first substrate to pass direct to the outlet.
  • Each substrate thus filters a portion of the gas stream which has not been filtered by the other.
  • an improved exhaust processor of "in-line construction comprising a housing including an inlet for introducing a combustion product into the housing and an outlet for exhausting combustion product from the housing, first and second substrate means for treating combustion product introduced into the housing through the inlet, and bypass means including a passageway between the outer boundary of the first substrate means and an interior wall of the housing, for distributing a portion of the combustion product introduced into the housing through the inlet to the second substrate means for treatment therein such that said distributed portion bypasses the first substrate means, is characterised in that said second substrate means is so positioned in the housing that all the combustion product exhausted from the first substrate means is constrained to pass through the second substrate means on its way to the housing outlet.
  • Each substrate preferably includes a cellular structure having opposite inlet and outlet ends and a longitudinal axis.
  • One advantage of the processor is that both cellular structures can be of short length to minimize fragileness.
  • Another advantage is that both cellular structures can have substantially equivalent filter efficiencies to reduce design complexity and cost.
  • the pair of cellular structures are preferably positioned within the housing in end-to-end relation to be substantially coaxially aligned therein.
  • the housing is desirably of "clam Shell” construction although it is within the scope of the present invention to employ a "stuffed-can” construction.
  • the housing preferably includes a first clam shell portion and a complementary second clam shell portion joined to the first clam shell portion to surround and hold the substrate pair in series.
  • Installation of the bypass means within an exhaust processor of in-line construction serves to allocate combustion product among the two substrates in substantially equal quantities. This feature advantageously permits installation of two substrates having substantially equivalent "filter efficiencies" since each deployed substrate is exposed to roughly the same volume of contaminated fluid or combustion product.
  • the “diverted” portion of the untreated combustion product is routed directly to the second or downstream substrate and thus entirely bypasses the first or upstream substrate.
  • the remaining “undiverted” combustion product is routed directly to the first substrate.
  • the bypass means includes a partition member or internal shell that is installed in an upstream position extending along only about one-half of the housing to divide the axially forward portion of the housing interior into separate first and second passageways.
  • the first substrate is desirably mounted in the first passageway in proximity to the housing inlet.
  • the first passageway defines one path for conducting undiverted combustion product to the first substrate for treatment therein and for subsequent exhaustion to the second substrate for treatment therein prior to exhaustion from the housing.
  • the second passageway defines another path for conducting diverted combustion product directly to the second substrate for treatment therein prior to exhaustion from the housing.
  • One feature of the present invention is the provision in an "in-line" exhaust processor of bypass means for diverting a selected quantity of untreated combustion product to the second substrate for treatment therein.
  • This novel structure causes the flow of combustion product introduced into the processor to be split into substantially equivalent portions. In effect, one-half of the initially untreated combustion product is allocated and conducted to the first substrate for filtration therein, and the other one-half of the untreated combustion product is allocated and conducted to the second substrate for filtration therein.
  • the present invention advantageously permits installation of two conventionally sized substrates having substantially equivalent filter efficiencies within a compact exhaust processor assembly of "in-line" construction.
  • an exhaust processor are intended to refer to various types of catalytic converters and processors, diesel particulate filters, and other particulate traps in connection with which the invention may be used.
  • An exhaust processor assembly 10 of the present invention includes a housing 12 of the clam shell type including an upper half shell 14 and a lower half shell 16.
  • Shell halves 14, 16 are conventionally steel stampings. In final assembly, halves 14, 16 are welded or otherwise joined along shell flanges 18.
  • the housing 12 further includes a housing inlet 20 to receive a combusion product 21 of an engine (not shown) into a cavity 22 formed by the marriage of the upper and lower half shells 14, 16. Also, a housing outlet 24 is provided to exhaust combustion product from the housing 12.
  • First and second substrates 26 and 28, respectively, are disposed within the cavity 22 of the housing 12 in a manner to be described.
  • Each substrate is a cylindrically-shaped monolithic cellular structure of conventional diameter and length.
  • the substrate could be a structure having a large number of thin-walled passages 29 extending radially and longitudinally between the ends of the cellular structure.
  • each of substrates 26, 28 is substantially equivalent, in contradistinction to conventional in-line exhaust processors which inherently must use two substrates having different "filter efficiencies".
  • One significant advantage of the present invention is that a pair of substrates of conventional size and of similar efficiency are usable in a compact in-line exhaust processor.
  • the exhaust processor 10 includes a partition 58 in the form of an internal shell half 58 which includes an inlet cone section 32 and a first body section 34.
  • Inlet cone section 32 operates to divert approximately one-half of the incoming combustion product 21 to the second substrate 28 so as to wholly bypass the first substrate 26.
  • Internal shell half 58 includes peripheral flanges 60 so as to be rigidly fixable between shell halves 14 and 16.
  • the first and second substrates 26, 28 are positioned within housing 12 in end-to-end substantially coaxial relation in this embodiment by placing the first substrate 26 in a first passageway 62 between the internal shell half 58 and the lower shell half 16, and by placing the second substrate 28 between shell halves 14 and 16 as shown best in Fig. 1.
  • the substrates 26, 28 are mounted in their proper positions using any conventional technique.
  • the second substrate 28 is exposed to the filtered combustion product 21a exhausted from the first substrate 26, in addition to the untreated combustion product 21b which is conducted to the second substrate 28 through a second passageway 64.
  • This second passageway 64 is defined by inwardly facing surface 52 and the outwardly-facing surface 66 of internal shell half 58 and causes combustion product portion 21b to wholly bypass the first substrate 26.
  • a companion internal shell half 68 is installed in the housing 12 in confronting relation to the internal shell half 58.
  • second passageway 64 is divided into upper and lower components 70, 72 and is shaped to resemble an oblong annular ring as best shown in Figs.7 and 8, rather than the arcute crescent section(s) of the embodiment of Figs 1-4 shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • a dual bypass passage 70, 72 is provided around the first substrate 26.
  • One effect of such a feature is that the lower bypass passage 72 and the upper bypass passage 70 each operate to conduct about one-quarter of the combustion product 21 introduced into the housing 12 through the housing inlet 20.
